I came across this pretty bowl on our recent (August) trip to the US.  I only half recognized the etch but knew that I had seen it before.  Pretty octagonal footed bowl/dish – 4 3/4 inches tall.

I am guessing that this is the mayonnaise bowl.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Isn’t this pretty?  We went on a rural ramble yesterday – Oshawa, Whitby, Port Perry, Lindsay, Fenelon Falls – and stopped in a few places.  I actually came home with very little.  Perhaps I am becoming more discriminating, perhaps I am becoming wiser……..perhaps I have no space in the house or garage!

In any event, I had to have this set of four!  They are a pretty pink.  Made by Tiffin during the 1920s, the etch is called Lois.  They mustn’t be all that abundant as I don’t see many (or none at this moment) online for sale.

The etch is a glorious daisy or mum.  I wonder how the name Lois came to be?

I picked these up at a neat consignment store in Port Perry called Caviar and Cobwebs.  Check it out!
